Prisoner's dilemma

Wednesday, January 24, 2007 (23:14 UTC)

Funniest ending to an article about Google Earth in a while:

The Corrections Department said Google Earth's images did not reveal any jails' security features. But Corrections asked The Dominion Post not to mention that prisons could be viewed. Just in case.

What a valiant attempt at security through obscurity. Those are New Zealand jails we aren't mentioning. Just to be clear. I wonder if inmates have access to Google Earth?
